Maybe update the carpets in bedrooms.

Property was great! Front desk host was amazing, vey informative and honest about the hotel and surrounding area. Very polite! Stayed in the 1 bed with private bathroom. Bed was comfortable and clean, bathroom was clean and well put together. I travel a lot through El Paso I will continue to book here every time!

Quite expensive to get an Uber to from the airport. I got the bus back in the morning for US$1.50. I would have appreciated some shampoo in the shared bathroom. I had to use the soap I had in my wash-kit for my hair.

I really enjoyed the history of The Gardener hotel and was very grateful for Gable (receptionist) to gave me a guided tour and further details of the hotel's artifacts and stories. My room was very pleasant -- it felt like being in an old wild west saloon. The bed was comfy, the back out curtains effective and there were plenty of power points. I was grateful for the discount offer at the next door bar as i arrived late after a 36-hour journey and needed a drink! In the morning i was offered a nicely brewed coffee when I checked our for my flight back.

That 4 bed shared rooms are only available for 2 weeks at a time, then you have to get a room with 1 bed and the price goes up. Other than this i didn't want to leave

The manager was very attentive and helpful. The rooms were clean, and the linens smelled awesome.

Gardner Hostel is so different, it is full of interesting history. They have nice decorated lobby interior and other parts of hotel, too. And it's in the very center of El Paso downtown. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. I would recomend the hostel to anyone.

It was the last spot available in town bc of the Coldplay concert. I had to take a room with only a shared bathroom, yet it was lovely and clean, spacious with a sink and big window, comfy bed.. had a great sleep. Really central too. As far as hostel hotels go, 5 stars :)

no complaints

The location was perfect and the hotel is beautiful. Anyone interested in history this is a must stay. Gable (swing shift desk clerk) is so knowledgeable about the hotel and the history of it and El Paso. The hotel is beautifully restored and all the employees seem to take great pride in it. Discounts are offered at some of the surrounding establishments. My stay was fantastic! El Paso has become one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. and anybody choosing to visit should definitely stay at Gardner! Thanks again so much Stephanie, Gable and all the other staff!

Would be nice if the antique elevator worked. But that's okay.

This is my go to place whenever I'm in town. As usual the staff was courteous and professional. This historical hotel is well taken care of and clean. Great downtown location close to restaurants and bars. For italian food I recommend The Pizza Joint.

Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Where do I start. This hotel/hostel is literally a step back in time. My husband is a history nerd. When I found this place on goodie I just thought this would be a cool stay to treat my husband to. Little did I know I was in for a treat myself. Our hostess were absolutely WONDERFUL! He explained a little of the history and offered to give us a tour. Seeing how excited my husband was after the tour of the John Dillinger suite they offered us an upgrade! I have never felt safer and more comfortable in any other establishment. Rooms were timeless and elegant. And if your in to a little spooky they have that as well! 100% will be back and will recommend to any one interested in a little time travel.

The elevator doesn’t work but it’s only 2 stories and staff is very helpful especially with taking your luggage to your room.

Liked everything

Everything, from the A+ location, the friendly staff and good atmosphere to the budget friendly options maintaining excellent comfort, cleanliness, its antique decor, it’s a historical landmark in El Paso. All amenities like a well equipped kitchen to cook and a refrigerator, washer and dryer for guests, a game room with a TV, pool table and other amenities.

Gorgeous historic building, comfy bed, and super friendly staff. Very interesting history of the building and mini museum in the lobby. Lots of great bars and restaurants on the same block and not hard to find overnight street parking.

Unique, historic hotel with a great staff! The shared bathroom was immaculate and always available. I particularly liked how there were discounts at nearby bars and restaurants; the owners/management are clearly interested in building community in downtown El Paso. Parking was also very easy as we scored one of the two spots out front even though we arrived late.
